[1.]

January's always bitter But Lord this one beats all

The wind ain't quit for weeks now And the drifts are ten feet tall

 I been all night drivin' heifers Closer in to lower ground

 Then I spent the mornin' thinkin' 'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down

[2.]

Charlie Barton and his family Stopped today to say goodbye

He said the bank was takin' over The last few years were just too dry

And I promised that I'd 'mazing When they found a place in town

Then I spent a long time thinkin' 'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

[REFR:]

Lord please shine a light of hope On those of us who fall behind

 And when we stumble in the snow Could you help us up while there's still time

[3.]

Well I don't mean to be complainin' Lord You've always seen me through

And I know you got your reasons For each and every thing you do

 But tonight outside my window There's a lonesome mournful sound

 And I just can't keep from thinkin' 'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

 Oh Lord keep me from bein' The one wolves pull down
